    Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies<br>
    of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.<br>
    <br>
    Preamble<br>
    <br>
    The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. 
    By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and 
    change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public 
    License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program 
    whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by 
    the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.<br>
    <br>
    When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public 
    Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free 
    software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if 
    you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that 
    you know you can do these things.<br>
    <br>
    To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights 
    or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you 
    if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.<br>
    <br>
    For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must 
    give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can 
    get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.<br>
    <br>
    We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license 
    which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.<br>
    <br>
    Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands 
    that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and 
    passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any 
    problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.<br>
    <br>
    Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the 
    danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect 
    making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be 
    licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.<br>
    <br>
    The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.<br>
    <br>
    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION<br>
    <br>
    0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the 
    copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The 
    &quot;Program&quot;, below, refers to any such program or work, and a &quot;work based on the Program&quot; 
    means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work 
    containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated 
    into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term 
    &quot;modification&quot;.) Each licensee is addressed as &quot;you&quot;.<br>
    <br>
    Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they 
    are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the 
    Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of 
    having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program 
    does.<br>
    <br>
    1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, 
    in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an 
    appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to 
    this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a 
    copy of this License along with the Program.<br>
    <br>
    You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option 
    offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.<br>
    <br>
    2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work 
    based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of 
    Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:<br>
    <br>
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files 
    and the date of any change.<br>
    <br>
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is 
    derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third 
    parties under the terms of this License.<br>
    <br>
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, 
    when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an 
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty 
    (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under 
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the 
    Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based 
    on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)<br>
    <br>
    These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work 
    are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate 
    works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you 
    distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole 
    which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this 
    License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and 
    every part regardless of who wrote it.<br>
    <br>
    Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written 
    entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative 
    or collective works based on the Program.<br>
    <br>
    In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or 
    with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not 
    bring the other work under the scope of this License.<br>
    <br>
    3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object 
    code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one 
    of the following:<br>
    <br>
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be 
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software 
    interchange; or,<br>
    <br>
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a 
    charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 
    and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,<br>
    <br>
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding 
    source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you 
    received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with 
    Subsection b above.)<br>
    <br>
    The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. 
    For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it 
    contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control 
    compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code 
    distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary 
    form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which 
    the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.<br>
    <br>
    If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated 
    place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as 
    distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source 
    along with the object code.<br>
    <br>
    4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided 
    under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program 
    is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who 
    have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses 
    terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.<br>
    <br>
    5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing 
    else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These 
    actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or 
    distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of 
    this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the 
    Program or works based on it.<br>
    <br>
    6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient 
    automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the 
    Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on 
    the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing 
    compliance by third parties to this License.<br>
    <br>
    7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other 
    reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, 
    agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you 
    from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your 
    obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you 
    may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through 
    you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely 
    from distribution of the Program.<br>
    <br>
    If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, 
    the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in 
    other circumstances.<br>
    <br>
    It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right 
    claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting 
    the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license 
    practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software 
    distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the 
    author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and 
    a licensee cannot impose that choice.<br>
    <br>
    This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the 
    rest of this License.<br>
    <br>
    8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents 
    or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this 
    License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so 
    that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this 
    License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.<br>
    <br>
    9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public 
    License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but 
    may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.<br>
    <br>
    Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number 
    of this License which applies to it and &quot;any later version&quot;, you have the option of following the 
    terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software 
    Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose 
    any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.<br>
    <br>
    10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution 
    conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is 
    copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we 
    sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving 
    the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of 
    software generally.<br>
    <br>
    NO WARRANTY<br>
    <br>
    11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO 
    WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE 
    LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS 
    AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM &quot;AS IS&quot; WITHOUT WARRANTY 
    OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED 
    TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A 
    PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND 
    PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE 
    DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR 
    CORRECTION.<br>
    <br>
    12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN 
    WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY 
    MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE 
    LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, 
    INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR 
    INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF 
    DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU 
    OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY 
    OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN 
    ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. </span></font></div>
